Quick Answer

Poppies are seldom sold as fresh-cut flowers since they tend to drop their petals soon after cutting, but poppy plants and seeds are sold in lawn and garden stores, nurseries, and home stores such as The Home Depot. Websites such as Amazon.com and Burpee.com also sell poppy seeds and plants.
